So I'm working on a game that's LoROM, right? And there's something that's showing up in my log that just doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever:


You'll notice both of these are storing data to ram, but it's showing up in the log as going to rom. Now, I know that it's really going to ram (checked to make sure), but why the hell is DB pointing to a rom bank? Is this a quirk with how LoROM works or with the way Geiger's logs things or something else entirely? It's really annoying trying to track down reads from bank X when it's showing up everywhere it shouldn't be.

Anyway, thanks for the help in advance.

"LoRAM" exists in most banks.  $0000-$1FFF is RAM in both banks listed ($87 and $92) for both LoROM and HiROM games.  It simply mirrors $7E:0000 - $7E:1FFF

Thanks, you guys. That cleared it up quite nicely. I've read both of that document (the one Disch linked to) quite a few times over the years and I can't believe I didn't remember that. I must be slipping.
